Blackpink- Pink Venom

K-Pop, Films making a large cultural impact in the West. Here you see Lisa, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé on stage. They all have contracts with big fashion labels and single solo albums out. This is a huge industry like Hollywood, very professional. As Western energy dies out and Asians move from production hubs to cultural integration with the West, this was to be expected. Mangas from Jaoan, Hong Kong Kung Fu films were just a start. Recall that Europe was the center of global power and culture. Americans started being a cheap production hub like Asia then Hollywood got started and slowly America became the center of power and culture. The transition here seems clear. America will become secondary like Europe is now and Europe will fall further behind even. I think of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The lowest need of a child is subsistence, eating, etc. An area climbs out of subsistence then becomes subsidiary to the power center( these are like first chakra and second or sexual chakra) by providing all its needs. Third chakra means taking power. Eurasia stops being the West's "bitch" and takes over global dominance. Meanwhile Europe having passed the power stage went to the fourth or heart chakra stage, losing need for dominance they see a need for global rules, peace. EU, Germany tried to play such a role. America once it falls away from empire will fulfill such a role. Europe will then move up in the chain towards higher more intellectual or spiritual roles. One thinks of India as having become a purely spiritual hub but mired in extreme poverty and returning full circle to learning to provide for its impoverished millions at subsistence level.  Still the whole world learns from Indian spirituality, just as European Classical music and intellectual acheivements form a global cultural basis. I think American multiculturalism, English as a global comon language and the principles laid out for peaceful commerce for the masses globally will be copied to maintain peace but with a new power basis in the East.
